If people eat red circles, they need to pot. If people don't deal properly with adds in a timely fashion, they need to pot. If people are playing well, there *still* may be moments where someone might pot (often yourself, because of the reduced potency of your own heals on yourself). However, the need for potions on top of…
I have been pugging 5man content and raids in another MMO for 7 years, and I'll agree that the silence in NW pugs is *eerie*, as someone else so aptly put it. Now, I can chalk some of it up to "everyone's learning the new keybinds & combat system, and for many of us, juggling chat along with the rest of it isn't intuitive…
This is important for people to understand, imo. Soothing Light (the at-will D-mode channeled heal) is a huge waste of Divinity unless you need to be healing but *cannot* stop to cast, as blahblahsean also pointed out. Divinity is a resource. Use it wisely. By the same token... don't sit there with full pips (like…
Again, I'm low-level, but you're not lvl 50 yet for Astral Shield either so I figure my responses have their place, so long as everyone understands I'm *only* talking about low-level group play ;D I highly recommend doing some solo play with D-mode versions of your abilities to get a sense of which does what. Maybe…
I've healed 3 expansions' worth of WoW raiding now, on three different healers. Neverwinter group play *is* very different than other game group play. I'm not high enough level to have an opinion on what to do as you approach level-cap, except what I've seen the other forum Clerics talk about. I'm level 26 atm, so not far…
Low level experience only here so far; I grabbed the Cleric companion from the lvl 16 quest and feel like I've got a lot of mileage outta her over the past 10 levels. No regrets whatsoever for passing up the Man-at-Arms. My goal is to work at Astral Diamond farming to get the Cat from the Wondrous Bazaar lady, but it'll…
Well, you are playing a Control Wizard. The adds are... actually your responsibility! You are to control them. It's why you have the word Control in your class name. I mean, the adds will *also* want to munch on the Cleric. NW *is* different than you'd expect. People call the GF a tank. Well... they *are*... but they…
Thanks for the info about the *Cat* companion, and for sharing your perspective on "cost" of levelling/gearing. I'm looking forward to videos any time you have more you can share!
This. Players who opt to play Clerics can be beasts in the old school D&D tabletop groups I've been a part of for the past 30 years. I *love* the idea that the NW Cleric is actively part of combat. I *love* the fact that mobs who are supposed to be intelligent understand that in any party, the healer is the #1 threat. It…
I can't wait for tomorrow! I was only able to be a part of BW3 (Aggro Cleric ftw!) and I have been *dreaming* of the city since the moment the weekend ended. The world absolutely enchanted me, and while no, I haven't spent a lot of time playing all the computer games out there (7 years of WoW is my only other non-tabletop…
BW3 was my first chance to see the game. Cleric is specifically what I'll want to play when the game goes Live, so I enthusiastically rolled one up the minute the game came up Friday afternoon. I only got to play to lvl 23 this weekend, so I know pretty much *everything* about... well, everything... will change by the time…
